Chapter 2: The Power of Three
(A/N: I'm not gonna put in how Piper and Phoebe let Kokoro inside and stay or anything, that' s kind of boring in my opinion, and you wanna see Syaoran, right?)
Sakura stood at the sink washing the brunch dishes. Kokoro lay at her feel, asleep. Piper had gone to the club for a few minutes, something about the band canceling, and Phoebe had gone to her work, something about publicity. So it was just Sakura, Kokoro, Kero, and Wyatt, because Yue had left.
"So, Wyatt, what do you feel like doing today?"
As if to answer her question, a voice rung out through the Manor, "Piper, Phoebe, are you here?"
Sakura, dish towel in hand, walked out of the kitchen, muscles tense, just in case he was mean. "Who the hell are you?" she asked.
"I could ask you the same question."
"Sakura, and I live here, for a while anyways. Why are you looking for Piper and Phoebe?"
"Name's Leo, and I just need to talk to them."
"Yikes."
Wyatt started to cry.
"Oh no, Saku's coming sweetie."
Sakura walked into the kitchen, Leo behind her. Sakura picked him up and started to bounce him again.
"You're watching Wyatt?" Leo asked.
Sakura nodded. Then she started to sing.
"Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird don't sing,
Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's going to buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's going to buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's going to buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town."
She finished her song, and Wyatt was asleep in her arms. She walked into the living room and put Wyatt in his crib. Then she turned to Leo.
"Well, Leo-san, I must say that I haven't got a clue to how you got in here, and I also haven't got a clue to when Piper and Phoebe will be back. Suggestion, use a thing called a telephone."
"Well, can't I just wait here?"
"No. Piper hasn't mentioned anything about you, so I don't know if I should trust you."
Leo sighed, he didn't really want to do it, but this girl really didn't give him much of a choice. Using his Elder powers, he tried to persuade the girl to let him stay. But of course, Sakura was the Card Mistress, so it didn't work.
"Sooo, when are you leaving? I really don't want to have to call the cops."
"Huh?" asked Leo, amazed that his power hadn't worked.
"Leave!" she pushed him out the door
*Somewhere that smells bad*
"Now would be the perfect chance to attack the Charmed sisters, their ex- whitelighter can't sense them or get within a mile of them, they would be destroyed forever, and I won't have to worry about them resurrecting one of their sisters."
*Manor*
Piper and Phoebe came through the door at the exact same moment. Sakura met them there.
"Konnichiwa Phoebe, Piper. Do you two know a freaky guy named Leo?"
The sisters glanced at each other. Piper spoke. "Yes, he's my ex-husband."
"Oh. Well, he stopped by. He did this weird hand thing like he was casting a spell, but I don't think it worked, obviously, cause he looked really confused. "Anyways, Wyatt's sleeping, and the dishes are washed."
Piper smiled, Leo forgotten. "Really? Thank you Sakura."
"No problem."
Suddenly, a loud noise permeated through the Manor. Sakura sweat dropped.
"That's my alarm clock." She ran up the stairs to turn it off.
*Outside*
'So, this is the Charmed One's house, huh? Well, better get this over with.'
Syaoran knocked on the door. A girl in her mid 20's opened it.
"Hello, May I help you?" she asked the mean looking boy.
"Are you a Charmed One?" he asked bluntly.
"Piper!" she called. "How do you know this? Who sent you? Are you evil?"
Piper came to the door. All three started arguing. Syaoran wanted to talk to them but they kept threatening to vanquish him. (A/n: It might be a bit OOC for Piper and Phoebe, but this is how I want it.)
*Coming down the stairs*
Sakura came down the stairs and heard that Piper and Phoebe were bickering with some voice that sounded oh so very familiar. She went to see what the problem was, and once she saw the face of the familiar voice, she stopped dead in her tracks. He hadn't noticed her, but it was definitely he.
"Syao-kun?" she asked in a soft voice
Piper and Phoebe turned to face Sakura.
*Syaoran POV*
I was yelling at the two sisters because they kept threatening to vanquish me. I couldn't help but think they were being paranoid. Anyways, the yelling had been going on for a while. But I heard the sweet voice of a goddess say my name. And I couldn't help but notice how sweet it sounded coming off her tongue. I looked past the two women, and standing there in all her glory was my Cherry Blossom, My Sakura.
"Saku-chan?" I asked, still not sure if it was a mirage.
*Normal POV*
"Saku-chan?" Syaoran asked, still not believing Sakura was real.
"Hai." She replied.
Suddenly, that entire void in his gorgeous amber eyes disappeared, along with the sadness. All that was there was love. He pushed pass Piper and Phoebe and ran toward Sakura. Once he reached her, he gave her a big hug and once he broke away, he then kissed Sakura.
Piper and Phoebe just stood there, not believing what they saw. Phoebe whispered to Piper.
"Didn't she call him Syao-kun? Isn't that close to Syaoran?"
"You think he's the one she loves?"
"It would certainly explain this 5 minute kiss."
They waited another five minutes.
"How big of a breath did they take?" asked an amazed Piper.
"I don't know." Answered Phoebe. She leaned against the wall and got a premonition.
*Phoebe's premonition*
Piper, Phoebe, and Syaoran are all laying on the floor unconscious. There's a demon attacking Sakura. She dodges the energy ball, and then with her hands, makes a leftover warlock athame fly into the demon's heart. He falls, and then disappears.
With a quick flash, we see Sakura has a tattoo on her back-the triquatra-as do Piper and Phoebe.
*End Premonition*
Phoebe lets out a little gasp, with attracts the attention of Sakura and Syaoran.
"Phoebe, are you all right?" Sakura asked.
"Sakura-Charmed One." She let out.
Now it was Syaoran and Piper's turn to gasp.
"Charmed One?" Sakura said aloud. "That sounds familiar."
"What about Sakura and the Charmed Ones?" Piper asked.
"Sakura.is a Charmed One." Phoebe replied.
"What? But Sakura isn't your sister." Syaoran said.
Phoebe glared at him. Sakura might like him, but she sure didn't. She was convinced he wasn't all Sakura said he was. "We don't know why she's a Charmed One. But maybe Mom or Grams will."
Piper and Phoebe went upstairs, and Sakura (still confused) and Syaoran followed. They ended up going to the attic. Piper and Phoebe went to get the candles, and Sakura went over to the book. The triquatra started to glow again, and soon that same strange wind came and blew the book open to the same page.
"Whoa." Phoebe said when she saw it happen.
"It happened once before." Sakura related. She smiled sheepishly. "But I didn't tell you. It happened when I found Wyatt up here."
Piper nodded and set the 5 white candles into a pentagon shape. She lit them, and then went to the book.
"*Hear these words, hear my cry, Spirit from the other side, Come to me, I summon thee, Cross now the great divide."
There was a swirl of light, and then a transparent woman appeared. She looked quite startled to see the people in front of her, and even more startled to find that Piper and Phoebe didn't look to happy about something.
"Blessed Be. How can I help you?"
"Don't 'blessed be' us, Grams. How can Sakura Kinomoto be a Charmed One? She's not Mom's child, is she?"
Grams looked flabbergasted. "Oh my, no." Then she noticed Sakura. "Sakura, dear, how are you?"
Sakura studied the woman. "You look familiar." She replied.
"I should hope so! I saved your life." She replied.
This surprised everyone.
"You.did?"
"Yes. I remember it clearly. Of course you wouldn't, I had to erase that part of your memory."
"Erase.my memory?"
"Yes, let me explain."
*Flashback*
Grams was walking with a chibi Sakura. Grams and Sakura stopped in front of a store that was labeled 'The Herb Express.' (A/n: Lame, I know)
"Now Sakura, you stay here, okay? I have to just get a few things in here, then I'll be straight out and we can get some ice cream." She said.
Sakura nodded her head.
Grams went inside, and Sakura stood there watching everybody go past. Suddenly, Sakura felt something pulling her to the alley by the store. Following the something, she ended up at a dead end. Sakura cocked her head to the side, confused.
"I knew I could bring you here.Card Mistress. I know about all you'll become, in just 7 years time. I have to stop that, I can't have you destroying all the evil in the world, can I?"
He held out his hand, and an energy ball appeared. He threw it at Sakura and she collapsed, almost dead. Then, Grams came out and said a vanquishing spell, so the demon was gone. She saw Sakura lying there, almost dead, blood coming out of her. She called for her whitelighter (A/n: did Grams every have a whitelighter? I don't know, so I'm making this up) and he tried to heal her. For some reason, it wouldn't work. So the whitelighter instead orbed them to a hospital.
At the hospital, the doctors realized that Sakura had a very rare blood type. So rare, that they didn't have any of it. Grams started to panic, but then the doctor remembered something. Once, when Grams was little, she had had her check up, it said so on her records. It also said that she had the same rare blood type. Grams, knowing the risks, with her being a witch and all, still gave Sakura the blood she needed. Sakura lived fine, without complications, and Grams erased the memory of that horrible day.
*End Flashback*
Sakura's mouth was open in an 'o' shape. "I remember now." She said.
Grams nodded. "I had forgotten about it, to be honest. I guess since she does have a great deal of Halliwell blood in her because of transfusion, she can become a Charmed One."
"Hoe."
Syaoran, who knew very well the dangers of being a Charmed One, tried to talk Sakura out of it. Of course, Piper and Phoebe took it as him wanting evil to win.
"Sakura, it's really dangerous. I don't want you to get hurt."
Sakura smiled brightly at Syaoran, making him blush. "But Syao, the world needs to be saved. You don't want all those poor innocents just dying, do you?"
"No, I guess not." He grumbled a reply.
Sakura smiled and gave him a kiss. "So." She stated.
Grams had a frown on her face. "Sakura, did your father tell you about what your mother was?"
Sakura blinked. "No, why?"
Grams sighed. "I suppose I should just get this out into the open. You see Sakura, your mother died 10 months or so before you were born."
Syaoran interrupted. "How is that possible?" he asked. Piper, Phoebe, and Sakura were interested, also.
"Your mother, Sakura, was a great Sorceress, in fact, one of the best. She helped so many people and risked her life so many times. She even risked your father and brother. But, Nadeshiko wasn't the strongest. Shax, yes Shax, ended up killing her. But, with all your mother's experience and how much good she had done, she became a Whitelighter. Of course Nadeshiko couldn't just leave your brother and father alone, and besides, no one knew she was dead yet. So, she just told your father. The body wasn't found, for your mother had put a spell on it to keep it form decomposing. Soon after, you were conceived. Nine months after that, you were born. Your mother still had her duties as a Whitelighter, and she still helped a lot of witches, doing a lot of good. Of course, this angered evil, so a Darklighter was sent to kill your mother. He succeeded and the spell for her real body was broken. Your father knew that he and his children would be in if everyone knew about Nadeshiko's magic, so he made it seem that your mother had been in a car accident. Of course, with your mother being so powerful, she wasn't just poofed to nowhere; she had enough power left to make she her spirit survived. This, of course, would make you a Whitelighter, well a half of a Whitelighter, actually."
Sakura sat down on the couch. "Does that mean I'm half dead?"
"Goodness no, child. It just means you have some whitelighter qualities. I'm sorry that I scared you dear."
Sakura nodded, then went back to the book it was on the page she had started reading before. "So, what should we do?"
"Read the spell. It will give you your powers."
Sakura took a deep breath, then started reading the spell:
" 'Hear now the words of the witches, Secrets we hid in the night. The oldest of gods are invoked here, The great work of magic is sought. In this day and in this hour, I call upon the ancient power. Give your powers to we sisters three. Give us the power, we want the power.' "
A swirl of light surrounded Sakura, and then all was gone.
"Okay, now let's find the demon that attacked us." Phoebe flipped through the pages and stopped. Soon after she let out a laugh. "How corny is this?" She asked. "This demon is called R'hal. And get this. His master is called Q'hal."
Syaoran spoke up. "Q'hal is why I came here. He's after my clan, and sorcery doesn't seem to work on him. My mother said that maybe the Charmed Ones would be able to stop him."
"Okay, well. The vanquish is already here, and ingredients aren't needed, so.Sakura are you ready for your first vanquish."
Phoebe smiled. "You always remember your first. Piper's ex-boyfriend, Jeremy was ours." (A/n: Alyssa said that you always remember your first on a movie, I think it's called FEAR)
Sakura smiled. "I think I am. It can't be all that different from capturing a Clow Card. We didn't have a book to say what we had to do."
Suddenly, Kero came up to the attic. "Saku-sama, I sense an evil aura coming this-GAKI!"
"STUFFED ANIMAL!"
"I AM NOT A STUFFED ANIMAL, GAKI!"
"AND I'M NOT A GAKI, STUFFED ANIMAL!" The two glared at each other, neither backing down.
Sakura sweat dropped. She whispered to Piper and Phoebe. "The two were always like this. I guess neither has changed. Kero what's the evil aura doing?"
Kero stopped glaring. "Coming this way."
As if Kero had said the magic words, R'hal came. Instantly, Everybody was thrown into the way. R'hal came closer, and Piper put her hands up to freeze, while Sakura put her hands up for defense. The whole room froze. (A/n: 4 charmed fans, u recall this happening when the charmed ones went back in time to save Phoebe from burning at the stake)
Piper's face looked stunned.
"I guess your freezing power expanded like what you saw in the future."
"No, Sakura froze everything too. It was like our combined powers."
"We should vanquish him now, right?" Sakura asked, who was totally terrified of the demon.
"Right." They went to the BOS and read the spell:
" 'Demon without a name of it's own, We vanquish thee so you cannot roam.' " (A/n: lame, again. But I want to get this chappy up ASAP!)
He exploded into a thousand pieces. Once he was gone for good, Leo orbed in.
Sakura spoke up. "I'm sorry Leo-san, but I didn't want to chance that you were a thief or anything so.can you forgive me?"
"Yes." He replied.
"Leo, what's with the whole Sakura copied my powers thing?"
"That what I'm here for. Take this as a sign that if one of you three die this time, the Charmed Ones won't be back until Wyatt is of age. Sakura currently has Prue's powers, Paige's powers, Piper freezing ability, and Phoebe's Empath ability. Of course her powers will expand, and she'll have all of your powers, eventually. Phoebe you got a premonition with all three of you having tattoos, check, I bet they are there."
Syaoran glanced at Sakura's right shoulder. "Sakura has the sign of the Triquetra on her shoulder."
"Piper does."
"So does Phoebe."
Leo nodded. "I'll be watching over Wyatt and Sakura, so if you need me, just ask."
"WAIT! Why Sakura?"
"Sakura will explain everything to you, but to give you an idea, Sakura has a lot of power. Probably more than Wyatt will. She needs extra protection, so I'll be watching over her closely, just in case. Oh, and you have a new Whitelighter. You might be familiar with her; she'll be coming tomorrow. Her name's Paige." He orbed out.
Piper and Phoebe looked at Sakura.
"What's a Clow Card?"
"Why can that orange bear talk?"
Sakura sweat dropped and turned to Syaoran. "Can you help me explain, Syaoran, it might help."
"Hai."
So, The group of 7 (Wyatt and Kokoro were brought upstairs) formed a circle and Kero, Sakura, and Syaoran told all about the Clow Cards and Sakura Cards and of course about the guardians.
Kura: So.how was this chapter? Not much more exciting, but Syao's here, and Saku's got her powers. I apologize to because she wanted me to do the 'While Nadeshiko is pregnant' thing, but I had changed my mind and decided that Sakura wouldn't be a Halliwell if Nadeshiko needed the transfusion. Plus the whole 'Nadeshiko is a Whitelighter' thing came to my mind and I thought it was pretty cool. I, again, apologize and hope that I didn't disappoint.
Kero: That's all for this chappy, and I hope that you've all enjoyed it. Stay tuned for next (A. Week's, B. Month's, C. Two month's) chapter!
Kura: Hello, and welcome to chapter 2 of The Power of Three. I hope this chapter is more exciting and to your liking.

Ria: Thank you, having ur review really made me happy!
Kammy: I went against ur vote, sorry.but u'll understand why, promise! N/e ways, thanx for revewing, the more the merrier!
Kero: Let's get on with this stupid chapter already!
Kura: *looks at Kero* okay.
Chapter 2: The Power of Three
(A/N: I'm not gonna put in how Piper and Phoebe let Kokoro inside and stay or anything, that' s kind of boring in my opinion, and you wanna see Syaoran, right?)
Sakura stood at the sink washing the brunch dishes. Kokoro lay at her feel, asleep. Piper had gone to the club for a few minutes, something about the band canceling, and Phoebe had gone to her work, something about publicity. So it was just Sakura, Kokoro, Kero, and Wyatt, because Yue had left.
"So, Wyatt, what do you feel like doing today?"
As if to answer her question, a voice rung out through the Manor, "Piper, Phoebe, are you here?"

"Yikes."
Wyatt started to cry.
"Oh no, Saku's coming sweetie."
Sakura walked into the kitchen, Leo behind her. Sakura picked him up and started to bounce him again.
"You're watching Wyatt?" Leo asked.
Sakura nodded. Then she started to sing.
"Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird don't sing,
Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's going to buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's going to buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's going to buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town."
She finished her song, and Wyatt was asleep in her arms. She walked into the living room and put Wyatt in his crib. Then she turned to Leo.
"Well, Leo-san, I must say that I haven't got a clue to how you got in here, and I also haven't got a clue to when Piper and Phoebe will be back. Suggestion, use a thing called a telephone."

Leo sighed, he didn't really want to do it, but this girl really didn't give him much of a choice. Using his Elder powers, he tried to persuade the girl to let him stay. But of course, Sakura was the Card Mistress, so it didn't work.
"Sooo, when are you leaving? I really don't want to have to call the cops."
"Huh?" asked Leo, amazed that his power hadn't worked.
"Leave!" she pushed him out the door
*Somewhere that smells bad*
"Now would be the perfect chance to attack the Charmed sisters, their ex- whitelighter can't sense them or get within a mile of them, they would be destroyed forever, and I won't have to worry about them resurrecting one of their sisters."

Piper and Phoebe came through the door at the exact same moment. Sakura met them there.
"Konnichiwa Phoebe, Piper. Do you two know a freaky guy named Leo?"

Piper smiled, Leo forgotten. "Really? Thank you Sakura."
"No problem."
Suddenly, a loud noise permeated through the Manor. Sakura sweat dropped.
"That's my alarm clock." She ran up the stairs to turn it off.
*Outside*
'So, this is the Charmed One's house, huh? Well, better get this over with.'
Syaoran knocked on the door. A girl in her mid 20's opened it.
"Hello, May I help you?" she asked the mean looking boy.
"Are you a Charmed One?" he asked bluntly.

Piper came to the door. All three started arguing. Syaoran wanted to talk to them but they kept threatening to vanquish him. (A/n: It might be a bit OOC for Piper and Phoebe, but this is how I want it.)

Phoebe lets out a little gasp, with attracts the attention of Sakura and Syaoran.
"Phoebe, are you all right?" Sakura asked.
"Sakura-Charmed One." She let out.
Now it was Syaoran and Piper's turn to gasp.
"Charmed One?" Sakura said aloud. "That sounds familiar."
"What about Sakura and the Charmed Ones?" Piper asked.
"Sakura.is a Charmed One." Phoebe replied.
"What? But Sakura isn't your sister." Syaoran said.
Phoebe glared at him. Sakura might like him, but she sure didn't. She was convinced he wasn't all Sakura said he was. "We don't know why she's a Charmed One. But maybe Mom or Grams will."

"Don't 'blessed be' us, Grams. How can Sakura Kinomoto be a Charmed One? She's not Mom's child, is she?"
Grams looked flabbergasted. "Oh my, no." Then she noticed Sakura. "Sakura, dear, how are you?"
Sakura studied the woman. "You look familiar." She replied.
"I should hope so! I saved your life." She replied.
This surprised everyone.
"You.did?"
"Yes. I remember it clearly. Of course you wouldn't, I had to erase that part of your memory."
"Erase.my memory?"
"Yes, let me explain."

"I knew I could bring you here.Card Mistress. I know about all you'll become, in just 7 years time. I have to stop that, I can't have you destroying all the evil in the world, can I?"
He held out his hand, and an energy ball appeared. He threw it at Sakura and she collapsed, almost dead. Then, Grams came out and said a vanquishing spell, so the demon was gone.

Syaoran, who knew very well the dangers of being a Charmed One, tried to talk Sakura out of it. Of course, Piper and Phoebe took it as him wanting evil to win.

Sakura smiled brightly at Syaoran, making him blush. "But Syao, the world needs to be saved. You don't want all those poor innocents just dying, do you?"
"No, I guess not." He grumbled a reply.
Sakura smiled and gave him a kiss. "So." She stated.
Grams had a frown on her face. "Sakura, did your father tell you about what your mother was?"
Sakura blinked. "No, why?"
Grams sighed. "I suppose I should just get this out into the open. You see Sakura, your mother died 10 months or so before you were born."
Syaoran interrupted. "How is that possible?" he asked. Piper, Phoebe, and Sakura were interested, also.
"Your mother, Sakura, was a great Sorceress, in fact, one of the best. She helped so many people and risked her life so many times. She even risked your father and brother. But, Nadeshiko wasn't the strongest. Shax, yes Shax, ended up killing her. But, with all your mother's experience and how much good she had done, she became a Whitelighter. Of course Nadeshiko couldn't just leave your brother and father alone, and besides, no one knew she was dead yet. So, she just told your father. The body wasn't found, for your mother had put a spell on it to keep it form decomposing. Soon after, you were conceived. Nine months after that, you were born. Your mother still had her duties as a Whitelighter, and she still helped a lot of witches, doing a lot of good. Of course, this angered evil, so a Darklighter was sent to kill your mother. He succeeded and the spell for her real body was broken. Your father knew that he and his children would be in if everyone knew about Nadeshiko's magic, so he made it seem that your mother had been in a car accident. Of course, with your mother being so powerful, she wasn't just poofed to nowhere; she had enough power left to make she her spirit survived. This, of course, would make you a Whitelighter, well a half of a Whitelighter, actually."
Sakura sat down on the couch. "Does that mean I'm half dead?"
"Goodness no, child. It just means you have some whitelighter qualities. I'm sorry that I scared you dear."
Sakura nodded, then went back to the book it was on the page she had started reading before. "So, what should we do?"
"Read the spell. It will give you your powers."
Sakura took a deep breath, then started reading the spell:
" 'Hear now the words of the witches, Secrets we hid in the night. The oldest of gods are invoked here, The great work of magic is sought. In this day and in this hour, I call upon the ancient power. Give your powers to we sisters three. Give us the power, we want the power.' "
A swirl of light surrounded Sakura, and then all was gone.
"Okay, now let's find the demon that attacked us." Phoebe flipped through the pages and stopped. Soon after she let out a laugh. "How corny is this?" She asked. "This demon is called R'hal. And get this. His master is called Q'hal."
Syaoran spoke up. "Q'hal is why I came here. He's after my clan, and sorcery doesn't seem to work on him. My mother said that maybe the Charmed Ones would be able to stop him."
"Okay, well. The vanquish is already here, and ingredients aren't needed, so.Sakura are you ready for your first vanquish."
Phoebe smiled. "You always remember your first. Piper's ex-boyfriend, Jeremy was ours." (A/n: Alyssa said that you always remember your first on a movie, I think it's called FEAR)
Sakura smiled. "I think I am. It can't be all that different from capturing a Clow Card. We didn't have a book to say what we had to do."
Suddenly, Kero came up to the attic. "Saku-sama, I sense an evil aura coming this-GAKI!"
"STUFFED ANIMAL!"
"I AM NOT A STUFFED ANIMAL, GAKI!"
"AND I'M NOT A GAKI, STUFFED ANIMAL!" The two glared at each other, neither backing down.
Sakura sweat dropped. She whispered to Piper and Phoebe. "The two were always like this. I guess neither has changed. Kero what's the evil aura doing?"
Kero stopped glaring. "Coming this way."
As if Kero had said the magic words, R'hal came. Instantly, Everybody was thrown into the way. R'hal came closer, and Piper put her hands up to freeze, while Sakura put her hands up for defense. The whole room froze. (A/n: 4 charmed fans, u recall this happening when the charmed ones went back in time to save Phoebe from burning at the stake)
Piper's face looked stunned.
"I guess your freezing power expanded like what you saw in the future."
"No, Sakura froze everything too. It was like our combined powers."
"We should vanquish him now, right?" Sakura asked, who was totally terrified of the demon.
"Right." They went to the BOS and read the spell:
" 'Demon without a name of it's own, We vanquish thee so you cannot roam.' " (A/n: lame, again. But I want to get this chappy up ASAP!)
He exploded into a thousand pieces. Once he was gone for good, Leo orbed in.
Sakura spoke up. "I'm sorry Leo-san, but I didn't want to chance that you were a thief or anything so.can you forgive me?"
"Yes." He replied.
"Leo, what's with the whole Sakura copied my powers thing?"
"That what I'm here for. Take this as a sign that if one of you three die this time, the Charmed Ones won't be back until Wyatt is of age. Sakura currently has Prue's powers, Paige's powers, Piper freezing ability, and Phoebe's Empath ability. Of course her powers will expand, and she'll have all of your powers, eventually. Phoebe you got a premonition with all three of you having tattoos, check, I bet they are there."
Syaoran glanced at Sakura's right shoulder. "Sakura has the sign of the Triquetra on her shoulder."
"Piper does."
"So does Phoebe."
Leo nodded. "I'll be watching over Wyatt and Sakura, so if you need me, just ask."
"WAIT! Why Sakura?"
"Sakura will explain everything to you, but to give you an idea, Sakura has a lot of power. Probably more than Wyatt will. She needs extra protection, so I'll be watching over her closely, just in case. Oh, and you have a new Whitelighter. You might be familiar with her; she'll be coming tomorrow. Her name's Paige." He orbed out.
Piper and Phoebe looked at Sakura.
"What's a Clow Card?"
"Why can that orange bear talk?"
Sakura sweat dropped and turned to Syaoran. "Can you help me explain, Syaoran, it might help."
"Hai."
So, The group of 7 (Wyatt and Kokoro were brought upstairs) formed a circle and Kero, Sakura, and Syaoran told all about the Clow Cards and Sakura Cards and of course about the guardians.
Kura: So.how was this chapter? Not much more exciting, but Syao's here, and Saku's got her powers. I apologize to because she wanted me to do the 'While Nadeshiko is pregnant' thing, but I had changed my mind and decided that Sakura wouldn't be a Halliwell if Nadeshiko needed the transfusion. Plus the whole 'Nadeshiko is a Whitelighter' thing came to my mind and I thought it was pretty cool. I, again, apologize and hope that I didn't disappoint.
Kero: That's all for this chappy, and I hope that you've all enjoyed it. Stay tuned for next (A. Week's, B. Month's, C. Two month's) chapter!
